Our draft harness is like this, but we were taught different names; the pole
strap clips onto the pole, and the quarter straps come from the britchen and
clip onto the pole strap. The horses use the pole strap to slow down the
carriage, without it pulling on the collars.

Subject: [drivingpairs] yankee britching picture....
hi meredith,
here is a diagram i found on a draft harness maker's site which shows
just what diane was taking about. the yankee britching connects at
the girth and helps keep the girth/saddle in place when the false
martingale pulls it forward as the the harness is breaking the
forward motion of the carriage. boy! i don't sound as if i am
making any sense even if i do understand the engineering <G>....
